Frisco's $5 billion mile is getting another project.

Irving-based apartment builder JPI is working on plans for a new rental community in the $700 million Gate development on the Dallas North Tollway north of John Hickman Parkway.

The planned apartment development would be just across the tollway from the huge Wade Park project.

JPI has filed plans with Frisco for a 440-unit, 5-story apartment project with two buildings to be constructed on almost seven acres. The developer plans to start construction on its Gate project next year, according to a JPI representative.

In the article originally posted by Tnexster it mentioned that a JPI representative said the developer was going to start construction on their apartment buildings in the gate this year. Since infrastructure for the project might be nearing completion, I can only hope that'll mean there will be some new announcements and groundbreakings in the coming months(?) as well as we might finally find out which luxury hotel chain is going to run the boutique hotel.

Also more importantly here's the most recent 2018 construction update video posted by IGO themselves: click here

AND, I was digging on The Gate's facebook page and while skimming through their renderings posted...

The condo tower was captioned "170 Condominiums to break ground September 2018" Which is in 2 ish~ months from now! If this is true, along with the activity from the 440 apartment units by JPI which are also expected to break ground this year, The Gate will finally start to pick up the pace!

Actually, in that video, the apartments shown at the end are part of the first phase of The Gate. Everything north of John Hickman Parkway ABOVE Frisco Station is The Gate. In the master plan, its located on the far left side of the development. Called "The Domain at the Gate" theres 350 units to it and its supposed to be opening soon. I've looked everywhere for a website or any apartment listings connected to it and I haven't seen any so far...

Avison Young will handle leasing of the office space, which has a construction schedule of 18 to 20 months.

The project will include 225 luxury hotel rooms, 15,000 square feet of meeting space, retail and restaurants. The top floors of the tower will have 150 condo units, according to plans filed with the city.

Frisco’s economic development corporation is asking the city council to provide tax incentives to support the new building.

JMJ Development has acquired 4.5 acres at the corner of the Dallas North Tollway and John Hickman Road with plans to bring a luxury hotel and residence project to Frisco.

Set to anchor Investor Group Overseas' The Gate development, JMJ has plans to bring a 28-story, 231-room luxury hotel, along with 90 branded residences, an upscale restaurant and high-end retail space, to the property.

The hospitality development is scheduled to open in 2024.

Dallas-based JMJ Hospitality says that it has purchased land in Frisco for its previously announced hotel and residential tower.

The developer bought 4.5 acres in the $1 billion Gate development on the Dallas North Tollway.

The 49-acre Gate development, which already includes apartment and office sites, is just north of the Dallas Cowboys’ Star in Frisco mixed-use project.
